Let’s Celebrate! The Spirit Collection of Thorne Hall Launch Events Are Nearly Here!

Hello friends!

I’m so excited to officially kick off the launch of my debut adult fiction novel, The Spirit Collection of Thorne Hall! To celebrate, I’ll be participating in three special events this February, and I’d love for you to either listen in or join me in person. Whether you’re into Gothic romance, love a good author chat, or just want to grab a copy of the book (autographs available for those who attend), I hope to see your beautiful faces!

Here’s what’s happening:

1. Podcast Appearance: The Happy Writer with Marissa Meyer Date: January 20, 2025 Location: The Happy Writer Podcast I’m so honored to kick things off with an appearance on The Happy Writer podcast! My dear friend, Marissa Meyer, and I will chat all about The Spirit Collection of Thorne Hall, my writing process, and what it was like stepping into the world of adult fiction. If you love a good behind-the-scenes peek at how the book sausage is made (such a gross analogy), don’t miss this! Find it in your preferred podcast app. Link: The Happy Writer Podcast with Marissa Meyer | J. Ann Thomas
   

2. Fireside Chat with Marissa Meyer Date: February 11, 2025 Location: Eventbrite Event Page Next up, I’ll be joining Marissa again for a cozy fireside chat where we’ll dive deep into the inspiration behind The Spirit Collection of Thorne Hall and my writing journey. This event is extra special because attendees can grab copies of the book, get them signed, and meet both of us in person. Not that she needs the help moving books, but you might even be able to get Marissa to sign a Marissa Meyer book or two if you ask nicely :) One extra bonus is a performance of one of the books ballads by yours truly!

3. Reading and Talk at Third Place Books Date: February 13, 2025 Location: Third Place Books Event Page Finally, I’ll be at Third Place Books in Ravenna for a live reading from my book and a talk about the Gothic genre. This is such a fun opportunity to dive into the eerie, atmospheric world of Thorne Hall together - something for the true Gothic fans and Gothic curious out there. I’ll also be signing books after the event! Link: An Evening with J. Ann Thomas at Third Place Books | J. Ann Thomas

   
   

This is such a huge milestone for me as I step into the world of adult fiction as not just a reader, but an author myself, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with all of you. These events are all about connecting with readers, sharing my love of Gothic romance, and geeking out about literature. I hope you’ll be able to join me for of these amazing moments but if not, there's always the podcast episode which was a blast!

With love and gratitude, Jamie
